] Date Posted: 24/01/07 20:18 In reply to: Paganwolf 's message, "Light 'em up people" on 22/01/07 13:10 That happened to me today as i was leaving to go home, one of the girls who never looks at me shouted bye bye and waved at me as i was going out the door....i felt really special. My contract finishes next wednesday with this school, i have been there since Oct(im on the supply list and was just filling in for someone who was off sick). I'm going to be so sad to leave, but i must try different support bases in other schools, its so hard not to get attached to these kids though. I cant imagine doing anything else now, i just wish i had done this work earlier but then again i have really enjoyed bringing up my own children(22, 19, 12) or should i say i was lucky enough to be able to stay at home with them. It really is a great job, even though you sometimes get a battering...i got a fat lip from a smack today but it was worth it because she asked me for a drink from her pecs book, i think she was frustrated trying to ask for the water and it getting a bit confusing (still learning sign-along and pecs book). Keep me posted on how you get on, i would love to hear more. BIG HUGS AND BRIGHT BLESSINGS, LOVE HEATHER.XXXXX [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |

Date Posted: 24/01/07 20:35 I used to do your job, in a special needs school, other schools are always after people..only the 'good' ones tend to stay the course! I now work for a college,where the special needs students visit with their own teaching staff. They sample various things that we do..I also work with the 'AG boys'..Students studying Agriculture...They tend to have had a pretty hard time at school for various reasons..with them its all about trying to restore confidence( and stopping them fighting each other!!!!)Both groups are teenagers. When i worked at the special needs school I worked with just the same sort of students as you..severe learning disabilities, and PMLD...I've been bitten, spat at and had pooh wiped in my hair...I loved them!!! let me know what happens..... like me, you won't ever want to do another job..I'm hooked..and slightly mad now!
